Tips & Advice
- Dress warmly in layers, including a hat and gloves, as the entire journey takes place outdoors on an unpaved, uneven path.
- Consider attending the special Children's Hour on Saturday from 5-6 PM if you have young children who might be sensitive to the 'scary' Roman soldiers or prefer an earlier end time.
- While walk-ins are accepted, reservations are recommended, especially for the Children's Hour. Be prepared for potential wait times in the gym before starting the outdoor walk.
- Strollers are permitted but may be difficult to navigate on the uneven outdoor path; a backpack carrier might be a more practical option for infants.
- Donations are accepted at the end of the journey or online to support this long-standing community event, which has been running since 1981.
